Notes
  1. In July 2019, Zamfara North Senator Sahabi Yaú became Deputy Minority Whip, however, Yaú resigned before switching to the APC in June 2021. PDP leadership chose Danbaba as his replacement.[4]
  2. Doguwa's election as representative was annulled in November 2019, however, he won the ensuing rerun election and thus retained his position as Majority Leader.[5]
